PROGRAMMING FORM
Entries apply to the ADEMCO VISTA-21iP/VISTA-21iPSIA controls, except where noted, certain fields have special settings when used with the
VISTA-21iPSIA (indicated by V21iPSIA with heavy borders and reverse type throughout for easy identification).
Entry of a number other than one specified will give unpredictable results. Values shown in brackets are factory defaults.
SIA Guidelines: Notes in certain fields give instructions for programming the VISTA-21iP for False Alarm Reduction.
IMPORTANT! Make sure the Real-Time Clock is set before the end of the installation (see page 16 for procedure).
